A village fair is a large
gathering of the village people. It is held in an open place either on the bank
of a river or in the yard of a temple or a school. Goods of different kinds and
tastes are brought here for show and sale. Generally it is held on the occasion
of Puja and other traditional cultural days. It is a kind of exhibition and
selling centre of various useful things made by the rural artisans and
craftsmen. Thus it acts like a market for cottage industries. Some traders come
from far and near to sell their goods. They bring clothes of various kinds,
ready-made garments, cheap fancy goods, dolls, utensils, cheap sweets and other
things useful to the villagers. Fancy goods have the greatest demand in a fair.
A village fair is a long-desired occasion for the village people. It promotes
rural arts and crafts. So, the government should encourage the fairs but should
not allow gambling and other evil things here.
